Where is God?

It’s funny that God seems so present in some places – like in church or a beautiful sunset.
But there are other times when we just don’t notice God. There are times when we don’t think about God’s presence.
I suppose there are a number of reasons for not noticing. Maybe we are distracted or self-absorbed. Our minds get filled with clutter and noise that drown out the Divine.
Where is God?
God is everywhere.
And so it is a struggle for us to maintain a constant awareness of the ever-present God.
I wonder how often I have begun a prayer only to taper off from the conversation and get lost in thought. How many times have I fallen asleep in the middle of a prayer?
Today, I want to be keenly aware of God. I want to get lost in God instead of my own thoughts and dreams. I want to see everything through the lens of God because I am so close to Him that He occupies my entire view of the world.
